Jacob Elordi from Australia became famous in 2018, when a romantic comedy for teenagers appeared on Netflix. “The Kissing Booth”. There he played the role of a football star named Noah, who was the object of the love of the main character of the production.
The “Priscilla” star is not proud of his beginnings. He used a strong comparison
In a recent interview he gave to “GQ” magazine, he stated that he was not proud of the role that made him internationally recognizable. The 26-year-old actor speaks bitterly about his time spent on the set of the “Kissing Booth” trilogy, and there is a touch of contempt in the conversation when he talks about films based on Wattpad stories.
I didn’t want to make these films […] These videos are funny. They are not universal. They are an escape, says Elordi.
Later, he also referred to the principle followed by Martin Scorsese. According to the director, the key to professional success is to follow the motto “one for them, one for me”, which means making a compromise to engage alternately in projects that will give us personal fulfillment and in productions that are purely profit-oriented. According to Elordi, this rule is a trap.
– It may turn out that it will be 15 for them and none for you. You end up with no original ideas and you’re dead inside. I’ve already done my ‘one for them’, he says. – In what sense is taking care of your achievements pretentious? – he asked, and then replied:
And not caring and knowingly feeding people shit while knowing you’re making money off their time, which is literally the most valuable thing they have, is considered cool?
Many other actors and critics share this opinion. Movies for teenagers, which once had a huge hit on Netflix, were not appreciated by reviewers. The first part of “The Kissing Booth” from 2018 received a quality score of only 15% on Rotten Tomatoes.
